Ce module présente les grands concepts liés à notre compréhension actuelle de l'Univers, de sa structure et de son évolution. Il aborde également les différents messagers qui nous fournissent des informations sur l'infiniment grand. Il discute aussi les "briques de base" des structures de l'infiniment grand : les étoiles.

What's included

Ce module s'intéresse aux deux grandes forces fondamentales nécessaires pour décrire notre Univers sur de grandes échelles, à savoir la gravitation et l'interaction électromagnétique. Il se focalise en particulier sur la description contemporaine de la gravitation, à savoir la théorie de la relativité générale, et les différents tests qu'elle a subis.

Ce module s'intéresse aux grandes structures du cosmos : comment les étudie-t-on ? comment sont-elles nées à partir de l'Univers primordial ? que pouvons-nous apprendre sur la composition de l'Univers en les étudiant ? Nous savons ainsi décrire notre Univers de façon remarquablement précise, à condition d'introduire des composantes inattendues, l'énergie sombre et la matière sombre.

Ce module s'intéresse aux projets actuels et à venir pour mieux observer le ciel. D'une part, les satellites d'observation ont ajouté des informations précieuses sur notre Univers, impossible à obtenir autrement. D'autre part, des campagnes d'observation, sur terre ou dans l'espace, sont en préparation pour améliorer notre connaissance de l'infiniment grand.
